Christians give up one more thing for Lent

WHYY By A priest uses his thumb to draw a cross of ashes on the forehead of a parishioner during an Ash Wednesday Mass at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia. (Emma Lee/WHYY) Christians in Philadelphia gathered to celebrate Ash Wednesday, a mass that launches the season of Lent, when the faithful traditionally sacrifice something for the 40 days leading up to Easter. Even though the past year of the coronavirus pandemic has caused many to sacrifice a lot already, observant Christians will still live a little leaner in observance of Lent. “Lent is about preparation for Easter,” said Leon Burrows of Mount Airy, who came to the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul for the noon mass. “For Christians, thinking about Christ giving up his life, everything else is in perspective. One more thing for Lent.”
